Plz Help: ipod buttons do not work, but the scrolling wheel work normally

Hi everyone,
All the controlling buttons on my girlfriend's ipod nano 3rd gen do not work.
However, the scrolling wheel is still functional.
Everything works, except the controlling buttons (menu, play, prev, next)
Is there any possible reason or solution for this?
The ipod is a 8GB product(RED) one.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!
This sounds like a hardware problem to me. If it's under warranty, take it to an Apple store. If not, take it anyway. They still may be able to help. If they can't, you can try sending it away to a company that fixes iPods. However, this may cost more than it's worth. You may find yourself buying a new iPod.

  • IPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine.

    iPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine. I have resetted the all settings and restore to old backup also but it doesn't work.
    Let me know the steps to resolve the issue!

    Check System Preferences > Network > active connection > Proxies tab. Are there proxy servers enabled? If you aren't behind a proxy server (which you probably aren't), uncheck those boxes. (Firefox bypasses the OS's proxy settings, so it's not affected by those settings.)
    Hope this helps...

  • HT1338 my mail is working but the little wheel keeps turning beside my iCloud account

    my mail program on my MacBook Pro Lion is working but the little wheel is constantly turning beside my iCloud mail account. Can you tell me why this would be - it started last night when I got a note saying that I had connected to a site without a trusted certificate and I clicked.. trust. Would this cause this little wheel to be constantly turning beside my Mac mail account in Mail. ???

    Hi Grebus, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Quit Mail...
    First I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
    Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
    Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • Why isn't the scroll wheel working properly with Firefox 4?

    I have a new Windows 7 PC at work with Firefox 4 on it. The scroll wheel on my mouse is not working right. It will work if I use Internet Explorer but I have trouble getting it to work with Firefox. Usually what I have to do is click the wheel to get that mode of scrolling where you move the mouse up and down to scroll the screen and that will work. And then when I click the wheel again to get out of that mode, my scroll wheel will work as expected. But I don't want to have to do that all the time. And sometimes that trick doesn't work. The scroll wheel is working fine with MS Excel and Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer, etc, so it seems to be something the new Firefox has an issue with.

    I fixed my problem! I was messing around in msconfig to turn off Lync from my Startup list and noticed something called Mouse Suite 98 was in my Startup. I did a quick google check and learned I could remove it without doing any harm. And voila! My scrollwheel is working properly with Firefox, finally! Hope this helps someone out there.

  • My iphone 5s screen won't work but the touch screen works perfectly...I've tried resetting it several times but it  continues to stay black. How can I fix this?

    Iphone screen is black but the touch screen works and everything else, I just can't see anything on the screen . I tried resetting it but that did nothing.

    You held down the home & power buttons until the Apple logo appeared? This could take as long as 30 seconds or more.

  • While typing a doc in Word, the spinning wheel appeared and froze the Word document.  I had another Word doc open at the time.  I tried to force quit, but it didn't work.  I would like to save it before losing my work, but the spinning wheel blocks me.

    While creating a Word doc, the spinning wheel appeared and won't go away.  Another Word doc was open at same time.  How do I get this fixed while saving my work?

    Basically, you don't.
    The 'spinning wheel' is simply an indicator that an operation is taking longer than it should. It doesn't say anything about why, or even if it's an error or not. If it's in Word, it could be that the app is hung, or it could be that it is waiting for some kind of user input, or input from another app. (My bet would be on the former.) You could go into Activity Monitor, identify the process that's making it wait, kill it, cross your fingers and hope that it would generate an error that would cause Word to return control to the user (you). If you had the expertise, that is, and the moon were in right quadrant.
    Realistically, your only option is to force-quit Word. Once that is done, if AutoRecovery was on, then, with luck, you could recover much of your work. Here
    <http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahnd.html>
    you'll find a quick overview of AutoRecovery and how it works.
    If it wasn't on (it should be on by default), then you're out of luck. Chalk it up to experience, turn it on, and back to the grindstone.

  • My headphone jack is not working but the mic is working fine i have chked my headphones too . They r working fine i have cleared all the dust and my phone is upto date . Please help me how can i fix this problem

    please help me

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

  • Bluetooth mouse buttons do not respond but the mouse icon on the screen follows mouse movements.

    Running 10.6.8 and replace my wireless mouse with a Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth.  It works fine and then all of the suddon the left, right and wheel will not work.  I replace with my usb apple mouse and it does the same.  I also tried my old apple wireless mouse and it does the same thing.  Can anyone shine some light on this issue.  In order to fix I must reboot the computer.

    I have test with my usb mouse and the same thing is happening as well.  It usually happens when I click on an input field in chrome or safari.

  • Why does my mouse scroll wheel work upside down?

    I have a Logitech portable mouse attached to my Macbook Pro and the scroll wheel works backward so when I pull down on the wheel the page does up and vice versa.  Is it me or is there a setting in my Mac I need to reverse?

    Thank you Ralph. In my Mac I had a box that said, "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating and it was checked.  As soon as I unchecked the box, the problem was solved.

    Apple really does not repair your iPod except for battery replacments.They exchange your iPod for a refurbished on of the same model. For a 4G, the price is $99, $149, or $199 depending upon the capacity.

    A third-party place like the following may be less expensive. Google for more.

    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:

  • Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

    Where are you physically located?
    What country's Store are you using?
    The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
    Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?
